Why do people get upset over increasing tax on the top 10% of wealthiest people? They have more than enough money to live out 1000 lifetimes. Why not take some of that and invest in educating future generations?

Edit: sorry about the mistake. I really meant top 1% of Americans. Those people control 40% of wealth in this country I am also not advocating for taxing them more as a way to educate younger generations either. I just wonder why people get mad about increasing taxes on people with so much money, that’s all.

God. this thread got brigaded hard by libertarian idiots who don't understand that a functioning society, which they benefit from and allows them to earn far more money than they would be able to otherwise, requires tax money to keep running

the rich benefit from a functioning society far more than the poor. of course they should pay more in taxes

I would venture to say the healthcare and childcare have very large impacts on taxes...

But you have completely missed the point.

We're not just talking about taxes were talking about the concept of forcibly taking things away from other people just because you have the power to do so and whether or not that concept is morally correct just because you're giving it to other people that you think are more important and deserving.
